various and changeful symptoms in
dicative of liver complaint. Nausea,
sic headache. constipation, furred

it as one of the most distressing, as
it is one of the most common, of NAL

Besides rectifying liver disorder, it

Moreover, it is the grand specific for

coke ovens built, and our trade in all
departments stimulated.
Shall we longer wait for Pennsyl-
vania or her railways to help us?
If we do we shall wait in vain. Her
coke and coal operators already feel
the effect of our. competition. The
Coal Trade Journal of October 9Th
shows that Raymond d Winifrede
wv. Val coal sells at Chicago at
$3.50 per ton, the same price as
Pittsburgh and Youghiogheny coal,
while New River coke brings 1915
as against $3.50 for Connellsville.
The b. d O. r. r. offers as cheap
rates to Philadelphia for all ship
ments from Newburg, as the Penn
sylvania K. r. offers from Clearfeld,
and as low rates to Chicago and St.
Louis, as the Pennsylvania R. X.
offers from Connellsville and the
Youghiogheny valley.
Why should our people longer
wait for the movement of the Penn
sylvania r. r. or of Pennsylvania
capitalists? We need no longer to
fear the high rates of the B. q O.
railroad, since the Inter State Con-
merce law gives us equal rights and
adequate protection. If our Deck
er's creek road were even absorbed
by the latter it would be better than
waiting another generation for help
that may never come. The B. Il 0.

Fairchance to this place during the
next year, and SO give to the State
the northern outlet it so much needs.
Let us encourage it by all legitimate
means.

Heating by steam.

The process of heating dwellings
by steam is not new, but, as yet, it
has not been in use in our com
manity. -
Moreover, recent improvements in
steam heating have made the system
altogether the most desirable Of any
mode of heating. 1t is clean and
safe, efficient and economical. All
the old objections to steam have
been done away by these improve
ments. 1t is noiseless; requires but
little machinery; regulates itself;
consumes but little fuel, and sends
the heat to any room, without any
failure, in the exact quantity desir-
ed. 1t can be regulated with as
much ease and certainty as the flow
of water through a pipe.
Many of our citizens, after exam
lining the system recently put in the
University, are considering the ques
ton, of putting it into their houses.
There is probably no other town in
the State where fuel is used more
lavishly than in this, and to so little
purpose The coal that is consum-
ed in any ordinary dwelling would
make steam enough to heat the Ma
tional Capitol. Nevertheless our
houses are cold and comfortless.
The first cost of steam is large,
but when the apparatus is once in
it's place the expense of heating a
house is Insignificant. A heater
about the size of large Burnside
stove will heat any ordinary dwell
ing and burn no more fuel than the
burnside stove. Added to this re-
duction of fuel, is the immense com
fort and convenience of having all
parts of the house uniformly heated
without dust, smoke, ashes, and the
great labor of carrying coal and
ashes to and from a half dozen fires.
We advise all who can afford it to
avail themselves of thus adding to
the comfort of their homes. Espe-
cially do we think it expedient that
the public school building should
be heated by steam. The present
mode of heating that building by
stoves is exceedingly deleterious to
the health of the hundreds of chill
dren who spend their time there.

New YORK Democracy.

There was no uncertain sound
about the utterances of the New
York Democratic convention. Unity
and enthusiasm characterized the
proceedings from beginning to end,
and State ticket was put in the
field, composed of men who had
made records, and proved their SUI
perior ability to discharge the du-
ties of the office for which they were
chosen as candidates. The platform
adopted was clear cut, straightfor-
ward and thoroughly Democratic.
Upon She all important question Of
tariff tax reduction it is particularly
emphatic, demanding that the fed
eral taxes be reduced by 100000
600. On the great issue of the pub
lie domain, it refers, not to the
pledges of the Chicago platform of
1884, but to the actual performances
Of Mr.. Cleveland's administration.
The National Democratic Adminis-
tration, and Mr.. Cleveland, were
warmly endorsed as was also the
State administration of Governor Hill
Never was the Democracy of New
York more firmly united or better
equipped for a winning campaign.
The magnitude of the election this
fall, in its bearing on the more inn
portant national contest in 1883, is
thoroughly understood, and viii
nerve the party to put forth it's best
efforts. 1t is not, therefore, rash
prediction to say that the Demo
cratic State ticket will be elected in
New York by handsome majority
